Ahmed Mehmed, Veselin Uchkunov

Abstract: Genetic closeness and distance between genotypes stevia have been determined to be used in the breeding programmes of the Agricultural Institute of Shumen. The breeding materials were seedlings obtained by in vitro micropropagation. According to the results of the cluster analysis, the accessions 7E and 210/2 are suitable for inclusion in selection programs to create genotypes with high content of rebaudiside A. The 1E and 10E genotypes are carriers of genes for high content of stevioside. The 4E and №1 genotypes combine high content of stevioside and rebaudiside A.
